The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1887-02-24

Yesterday was not particularly an inn
portant day in legislative work, nor was
IL devoid of considerable interest, nor
barren of results. The senate passed
several matters of some interest before
reaching the bone OF contention OF the
day, being the Lill to increase the penalty
for carrying concealed weapons Inns
measure has been discussed at great
length in the senate, and, while opinions
on its necessity and propriety have been
varied, the senate finally concluded that
the six-shooter ought to go, and passed
the bill with an imprisonment feature
added.
The railroad commission bill was the
pending business yesterday when the
senate adjourded, but 1t was postponed
to-day on motion of Senator Glasscock.
II will come up again Monday, and prob
ably run through two or three morning
sessions before it is disposed of. The
fate of the bill ultimately in the senate is
yet a matter of considerable speculation.
In the house Mr.. Latimer raised slight
breeze Immediately upon conclusion of
the opening ceremonies by denouncing as
scoundrel the person who has
been leaving insulting notes and carl
catures on his desk. Mr.. Latimer
gave every one fair and due
notice that he would wear his
cane out on anybody he found around his
desk who oughn't to be there. After this
little DEPRESSION the house got down to
business and passed several bills, some OF
them, as will be seen from the proceed
ings, of general and others of a special
nature.
LOOKED DESERTED.
The conclusion of the Willis investiga-
ton set loose some thirty or forty wit
nesses, most of whom left yesterday for
their homes in the Panhandle. As n con
sequence the corridors looked deserted
again yesterday, and matters wore rather
tame appearance. The committee have
tho Willis matter under advisement, and
will report in a day or so. If they find
adversely to the judge the manner of pro-
cedure can be either by impeachment, in
which case the house becomes tho prose
cutor and the senate the jury, or by an
address, technically called, which is in the
nature of joint resolution.
THE UNIVERSITY LAND RILL.
The bill as passed by the senate yester-
day, giving exclusive control of the Uni
versity lands to the regents, places in the
hands of the latter authority
to sell and lease the lands under
the following conditions: To sell to
actual settlers not exceeding $40 acres to
heads of families, and to single men $40
acres all tracts less than 100 acres to par
ties regardless of settlement; can lease
not exceeding four sections to any one
party, the minimum price and term being
four cents and five years; not to sell or
lease to any corporations except as now
permitted by law, the minimum price be-
ing 81 per acre. The money from these
sails or leases is paid into the state
treasury directly. The governor has also
to approve of all the acts of the regents
under this act.

LIVELY TINES FOR DKPUTY.--Deputy
Marshal Coles outfit had a round one
day last week with Big Chuwie. on
Gree nleaf,in which the old man came
out victorious. The writ was for whis-
ky and the marshal had as his assist
ants Bob Walker and Bud Trainer.
Walker received a shot in the shoulder
which disabled him, while Trsinor
had three bullet holes put through
his clothes. As Ohuwie was in his
cabin and refused 20 come out, IL was
set on fire but Walker begged so hard
to be carried away that the marshal
complied and thus their man escaped.
IL is said he and his friends folio wed
the marshal's outfit a good share of
the way to Tahlequah. At the first
onslaught Trainor sprang into the
house and struck Chuwie a number OF
blows with Winchester but failed to
disable him. The day before this hap
pened the same party paid a visit 60
Bill Pigeons house, OH Spavinaw, or
Spring creeks but he was not at home.
The old report in regard to his death
from pneumonia proved hoax.
